Books  for  Study  and  Reading 
By  LYMAN  ABBOTT 

There  are  three  services  which  books  may 
render  in  the  home:  they  may  be  ornaments,  tools, 
or  friends. 

I  was  told  a  few  years  ago  the  following  story 
which  is  worth  retelling  as  an  illustration  of  the 
use  of  books  as  ornaments.  A  millionaire  who 
had  one  house  in  the  city,  one  in  the  mountains, 
and  one  in  the  South,  wished  to  build  a  fourth 
house  on  the  seashore.  A  house  ought  to  have  a 
library.  Therefore  this  new  house  was  to  have 
a  library.  When  the  house  was  finished  he 
found  the  library  shelves  had  been  made  so 
shallow  that  they  v.-ould  not  take  books  of  an 
ordinary  size.  His  architect  proposed  to  change 
the  bookshelves.  The  millionaire  did  not  wish 
the  change  made,  but  told  his  architect  to  buy 
fine  bindings  of  classical  books  and  glue  them 
into  the  shelves.  The  architect  on  making  in- 
quiries discovered  that  the  bindings  would  cost 
more  than  slightly  shop-worn  editions  of  the 
books  themselves.  So  the  books  were  bought, 
cut  in  two  from  top  to  bottom  about  in  the  mid-

die,  one  half  thrown  away,  and  the  other  half  sc 
placed  upon  the  shelves  that  the  handsome 
backs  presented  the  same  appearance  they  would 
have  presented  if  the  entire  book  had  been  there. 
Then  the  glass  doors  were  locked,  the  key  to 
the  glass  doors  lost,  and  sofas  and  chairs  and 
tables  put  against  them.  Thus  the  millionaire 
has  his  library  furnished  with  handsome  bind- 
ings and  these  I  may  add  are  quite  adequate 
for  all  the  use  which  he  wishes  to  make  of 
them. 

This  is  a  rather  extreme  case  of  the  use  of 
books  as  ornaments,  but  it  illustrates  in  a  bizarre 
way  what  is  a  not  uncommon  use.  There  is 
this  to  be  said  for  that  illiterate  millionaire: 
well-bound  books  are  excellent  ornaments.  No 
decoration  with  wall  paper  or  fresco  can  make  a 
parlor  as  attractive  as  it  can  be  made  with  low 
bookshelves  filled  with  works  of  standard  au- 
thors and  leaving  room  above  for  statuary,  or 
pictures,  or  the  inexpensive  decoration  of  flowers 
picked  from  one's  own  garden.  I  am  inclined 
to  think  that  the  most  attractive  parlor  I  have 
ever  visited  is  that  of  a  bookish  friend  whose 
R^alls  are  thus  furnished  with  what  not  only 
delights  the  eye,  but  silently  invites  the  mind  to 
an  inspiring  companionship. 

More  important  practically  than  their  use  as 
ornaments  is  the  use  of  books  as  tools.     Every 


The  Pocket  University  5 

professional  man  needs  his  special  tools — the 
la\vyer  his  law  books,  the  doctor  his  medical 
books,  the  minister  his  theological  treatises 
and  his  Biblical  helps.  I  can  always  tell  when  I 
go  into  a  clergyman's  study  by  looking  at  his 
books  whether  he  is  living  in  the  Twentieth  Cent- 
ury or  in  the  Eighteenth.  Tools  do  not  make  the 
man,  but  they  make  his  work  and  so  show  what 
the  man  is. 

Every  home  ought  to  have  some  books  that 
are  tools  and  the  children  should  be  taught  how 
to  use  them.  There  should  be  at  least  an  atlas, 
a  dictionary,  and  an  encyclopaedia.  If  in  the 
evening  when  the  family  talk  about  the  war  in 
the  Balkans  the  father  gets  out  the  atlas  and  the 
children  look  to  see  where  Roumania  and  Bul- 
garia and  Greece  and  Constantinople  and  the 
Dardanelles  are  on  the  map,  they  will  learn 
more  of  real  geography  in  half  an  hour  than 
they  will  learn  in  a  week  of  school  study  con- 
cerning countries  in  which  they  have  no  interest. 
When  there  is  reading  aloud  in  the  family  circle, 
if  every  unfamiliar  word  is  looked  up  in  a  dic- 
tionary, which  should  always  lie  easily  accessible 
upon  the  table,  they  will  get  unconsciously  a 
widening  of  their  vocabulary  and  a  knowledge 
of  the  use  of  English  which  will  be  an  invaluable 
supplement  to  the  work  of  their  teacher  of 
English  in  the  school.     As  to  cyclopaedias  they 


6  The  Pocket  University 

are  of  all  sizes  from  the  little  six-volumed  cy- 
clopaedia in  the  Everyman's  Library  to  the 
twenty-nine  volumed  Encyclopaedia  Britannica, 
and  from  the  general  cyclopaedia  with  more  or 
less  full  information  on  every  conceivable  topic 
to  the  more  distinctive  family  cyclopaedia  which 
covers  the  life  of  the  household.  Where  there 
are  children  in  the  family  the  cyclopaedia  which 
covers  the  field  they  are  most  apt  to  be  interested 
in — such  as  "The  Library  of  Work  &  Play"  or 
"The  Guide  Series"  to  biography,  music,  pic- 
tures, etc. — is  the  best  one  to  begin  with. 
After  they  have  learned  to  go  to  it  for  information 
which  they  want,  they  will  desire  a  more  general 
cyclopaedia  because  their  wants  have  increase] 
and  broadened. 

So  much  for  books  as  ornaments  and  as  tools. 
Certainly  not  less  important,  if  comparisons 
can  be  made  I  am  inclined  to  say  more  im- 
portant, is  their  usefulness  as  friends. 

In  Smith  College  this  distinction  is  marked  by 
the  College  authorities  in  an  interesting  and 
valuable  manner.  In  the  library  building  there 
is  a  room  for  study.  It  is  furnished  with  a  num- 
ber of  plain  oak  or  walnut  tables  and  with  chairs 
which  do  not  invite  to  repose.  There  are 
librarians  present  to  get  from  the  stacks  the 
special  books  which  the  student  needs.  The  room 
is  barren  of  ornament.     Each  student  is  hard  at 


The  Pocket  University  7 

work  examining,  comparing,  collating.  She  is 
to  be  called  on  to-morrow  in  class  to  tell  what 
she  has  learned,  or  next  week  to  hand  in  a  thesis 
the  product  of  her  study.  All  eyes  are  intent 
upon  the  allotted  task;  no  one  looks  up  to  see 
you  when  you  enter.  In  the  same  building  is  an- 
other room  which  I  will  call  The  Lounge,  though 
I  think  it  bears  a  different  name.  The  books 
are  upon  shelves  around  the  wall  and  all  are 
within  easy  reach.  Many  of  them  are  fine 
editions.  A  wood  fire  is  burning  in  the  great 
fireplace.  The  room  is  furnished  with  sofas  and 
easy  chairs.  No  one  is  at  work.  No  one  is 
talking.  No!  but  they  are  listening — listening 
to  authors  whose  voices  have  long  since  been 
silent  in  death. 

In  every  home  there  ought  to  be  books  that 
are  friends.  In  every  day,  at  least  in  every  week, 
there  ought  to  be  some  time  which  can  be  spent 
in  cultivating  their  friendship.  This  is  reading, 
and  reading  is  ver>^  different  from  study. 

The  student  has  been  at  work  all  the  morning 
with  his  tools.  He  has  been  studying  a  question 
of  Constitutional  Law:  What  are  the  powers  of 
the  President  of  the  United  States?  He  haa 
examined  the  Constitution;  then  Willoughby  or 
Watson  on  the  Constitution;  then  he  turns  to 
The  Federalist;  then  perhaps  to  the  Constitu- 
tional debates,  or  to  the  histories,  such  as  Von 


8  The  Pocket  University 

Hoist's  Constitutional  History  of  the  United 
States,  or  to  treatises,  such  as  Bryce's  American 
Commonwealth.  He  compares  the  different 
opinions,  weighs  them,  deliberates,  endeavors  to 
reach  a  decision.  Wearied  with  his  morning 
pursuit  of  truth  through  a  maze  of  conflicting 
theories,  he  puts  his  tools  by  and  goes  to  dinner. 
In  the  evening  he  sits  down  in  the  same  library 
for  an  hour  with  his  friends.  He  selects  his 
friend  according  to  his  mood.  Macaulay  carries 
him  back  across  the  centuries  and  he  lives  for 
an  hour  with  The  Puritans  or  with  Dr.  Samuel 
Johnson.  Carlyle  carries  him  unharmed  for  an 
hour  through  the  exciting  scenes  of  the  French 
Revolution;  or  he  chuckles  over  the  caustic 
humor  of  Thackeray's  semi-caricatures  of  Eng- 
lish snobs.  With  Jonathan  Swift  as  a  guide  he 
travels  with  Gulliver  into  no-man's  land  and 
visits  Lilliput  or  Brobdingnag;  or  Oliver  Gold- 
smith enables  him  to  forget  the  strenuous  life  of 
America  by  taking  him  to  "The  Deserted  Vil- 
lage." He  joins  Charles  Lamb's  friends,  listens 
to  the  prose-poet's  reveries  on  Dream-Children, 
then  closes  his  eyes  and  falls  into  a  reverie  of  his 
own  childhood  days;  or  he  spends  an  hour  with 
Tennyson,  charmed  by  his  always  musical  but 
not  often  virile  verse,  or  with  Browning,  inspired 
by  his  always  virile  but  often  rugged  verse,  or 
with  Milton  or  Dante,  and  forgets  this  world 


The  Pocket  University  9 

altogether,  with  its  problems  and  perplexities, 
convoyed  to  another  realm  by  these  spiritual 
guides;  or  he  turns  to  the  autobiography  of  one 
of  the  great  men  of  the  past,  telling  of  his  achieve- 
ments, revealing  his  doubts  and  difficulties,  his 
self-conflicts  and  self-victories,  and  so  inspiring 
the  reader  to  make  his  own  life  sublime.  Or 
one  of  the  great  scientists  may  interpret  to  him 
the  wonders  of  nature  and  thrill  him  with  the 
achievements  of  man  in  solving  some  of  the  rid- 
dles of  the  universe  and  winning  successive 
mastery  over  its  splendid  forces. 

It  is  true  that  no  dead  thing  is  equal  to  a  living 
person.  The  one  afternoon  I  spent  in  John  G. 
Whittier's  home,  the  one  dinner  I  took  with 
Professor  Tyndall  in  his  London  home,  the  one 
half  hour  which  Herbert  Spencer  gave  to  me  at 
his  Club,  mean  more  to  me  than  any  equal  time 
spent  in  reading  the  writings  of  either  one  of 
them.  These  occasions  of  personal  fellowship 
abide  in  the  memory  as  long  as  life  lasts.  This 
I  say  with  emphasis  that  what  I  say  next  may  not 
be  misunderstood — that  there  is  one  respect  in 
which  the  book  is  the  best  of  possible  friends. 
You  do  not  need  to  decide  beforehand  what 
friend  you  will  invite  to  spend  the  evening  with 
you.  When  supper  is  over  and  you  sit  down  by 
the  evening  lamp  for  your  hour  of  companion- 
ship, you  give  your  invitation  according  to  your 


lo        The  Pocket  University 

inclination  at  the  time.  And  if  you  have  made  a 
mistake,  and  the  friend  you  have  invited  is  not 
the  one  you  want  to  talk  to,  you  can  "shut  him 
up"  and  not  hurt  his  feelings.  Remarkable  is 
the  friend  who  speaks  only  when  you  want  to 
listen  and  can  keep  silence  when  you  want  sil- 
ence. Who  is  there  who  has  not  been  sometimes 
bored  by  a  good  friend  who  went  on  talking  when 
you  wanted  to  reflect  on  what  he  had  already 
said.-"  Who  is  there  who  has  not  had  his  patience 
well  nigh  exhausted  at  times  by  a  friend  whose 
enthusiasm  for  his  theme  appeared  to  be  quite 
inexhaustible?  A  book  never  bores  you  be- 
cause you  can  always  lay  it  down  before  it  be- 
comes a  bore. 

Most  families  can  do  with  a  few  books  that 
are  tools.  In  these  days  in  which  there  is  a 
library  in  almost  every  village,  the  family  that 
has  an  atlas,  a  dictionary,  and  a  cyclopaedia  can 
look  to  the  public  library  for  such  other  tools 
as  are  necessary.  And  we  can  depend  on  the 
library  or  the  book  club  for  books  that  are  mere 
acquaintances — the  current  book  about  cur- 
rent events,  the  books  that  are  read  to-day  and 
forgotten  to-morrow,  leaving  only  a  residuum  in 
our  memory,  the  book  that,  once  read,  we  never 
expect  to  read  again.  In  my  own  home  this  cur- 
rent literature  is  either  borrowed  and  returned 
or,  if  purchased,  as  soon  as  it  has  been  used  is 


The  Pocket  University         il 

passed  along  to  neighbors  or  to  the  village  libra- 
ry. Its  room  is  better  than  its  company  on  my 
over-crowded  book  shelves. 

But  books  that  are  friends  ought  to  abide  in 
the  home.  The  very  form  of  the  book  grows 
familiar;  a  different  edition,  even  a  different 
copy,  does  not  quite  serve  the  same  friendly  pur- 
pose. If  the  reader  is  wise  he  talks  to  his  friend 
as  well  as  listens  to  him  and  adds  in  pencil  notes, 
in  the  margin  or  on  the  back  pages  of  the  book, 
his  own  reflections.  I  take  up  these  books  marked 
with  the  indications  of  my  conversation  with  my 
friend  and  in  these  pencilled  memoranda  find  an 
added  value.  Sometimes  the  mark  emphasizes 
an  agreement  between  my  friend  and  me,  some- 
times it  emphasizes  a  disagreement,  and  some- 
times it  indicates  the  progress  in  thought  I  have 
made  since  last  we  met.  A  wisely  marked  book 
is  sometimes  doubled  in  value  by  the  mark- 
ing. 

Before  I  bring  this  essay  to  a  close,  already 
lengthened  beyond  my  predetermined  limits,  I 
venture  to  add  four  rules  which  may  be  of  value 
at  least  to  the  casual  reader. 

For  reading,  select  the  book  which  suits 
your  inclination.  In  study  it  is  wise  to  make 
your  will  command  your  mind  and  go  on  with 
your  task  however  unattractive  it  may  prove 
to  you.     You  may  be  a  Hamiltonian,  and  Jef- 


12        The  Pocket  University 

ferson's  views  of  the  Constitution  may  repel 
you,  or  even  bore  you.  No  matter.  Go  on. 
Scholarship  requires  persistence  in  study  of 
matter  that  repels  or  even  bores  the  student. 
You  may  be  a  devout  believer  and  Herbert 
Spencer  repellent.  Nevertheless,  if  you  are 
studying  you  may  need  to  master  Herbert 
Spencer.  But  if  you  are  reading,  read  what 
interests  you.  If  Scott  does  not  interest  you  and 
Dickens  does,  drop  Scott  and  read  Dickens.  You 
need  not  be  any  one's  enemy;  but  you  need  not 
be  a  friend  with  everybody.  This  is  as  true  of 
books  as  of  persons.  For  friendship  some  agree- 
ment in  temperament  is  quite  essential. 

Henry  Ward  Beecher's  application  of  this 
principle  struck  me  as  interesting  and  unique. 
He  did  a  great  deal  of  his  reading  on  the  train  in 
his  lecture  tours.  His  invariable  companion 
was  a  black  bag  and  the  black  bag  always 
contained  some  books.  As  I  am  writing  from 
recollection  of  a  conversation  with  him  some  sixty 
years  ago  my  statement  may  lack  in  accuracy  of 
detail,  but  not,  I  think,  in  essential  veracity. 
He  selected  in  the  beginning  of  the  year  some 
four  departments  of  reading,  such  as  Poetry, 
History,  Philosophy,  Fiction,  and  in  each  de- 
partment a  specific  course,  such  as  Greek  Poetry, 
Macaulay's  History,  Spencer's  Philosophy,  Scott's 
Novels.     Then  he  read  according  to  his  mcod. 


The  Pocket  University         13 

but  generally  in  the  selected  course:  if  poetry, 
the  Greek  poets;  if  history,  Macaulay;  if  philo- 
sophy, Spencer;  if  fiction,  Scott.  This  gave  at 
once  liberty  to  his  mood  and  unity  to  his  reading. 

One  may  read  either  for  acquisition  or  for 
inspiration.  A  gentleman  who  has  acquired  a 
national  reputation  as  a  popular  lecturer  and 
preacher,  formed  the  habit,  when  in  college,  of 
always  subjecting  himself  to  a  recitation  in 
all  his  serious  reading.  After  finishing  a  chapter 
he  would  close  the  book  and  see  how  much  of 
what  he  had  read  he  could  recall.  One  conse- 
quence is  the  development  of  a  quite  marvelous 
memory,  the  results  of  which  are  seen  in  fre- 
quent and  felicitous  references  in  his  public 
speaking  to  literature  both  ancient  and  mod- 
em. 

He  who  reads  for  inspiration  pursues  a  difFer- 
•ent  course.  If  as  he  reads,  a  thought  expressed 
^y  his  author  starts  a  train  of  thought  in  his  own 
mind,  he  lays  down  his  book  and  follows  his 
thought  wherever  it  may  lead  him.  He  endeavors 
to  remember, not  thethought  which  the  author  has 
'ecorded,  but  the  unrecorded  thought  which  the 
author  has  stimulated  in  his  own  mind.  Reading 
IS  to  him  not  an  acquisition  but  a  ferment.  I 
imagine  from  my  acquaintance  with  Phillips 
Brooks  and  with  his  writings  that  this  was  his 
•nethod. 


14        The  Pocket  University 

I  have  a  friend  who  says  that  he  prefers  to 
select  his  authors  for  himself,  not  to  have  them 
selected  for  iiim.  But  he  has  money  with  which 
to  buy  the  books  he  wants,  a  room  in  which  to 
put  them,  and  the  broad  culture  which  enables 
him  to  make  a  wise  selection.  Most  of  us  lack 
one  at  least  of  these  qualifications :  the  money,  the 
space,  or  the  knowledge.  For  most  of  us  a  library 
for  the  home,  selected  as  this  Pocket  Library  has 
been  has  three  great  advantages:  the  cost  is  not 
prohibitive;  the  space  can  easily  be  made  in  oui 
home  for  the  books;  and  the  selection  is  more 
wisely  made  than  any  we  could  make  for  our- 
selves. For  myself  I  should  be  very  glad  to  have 
the  editors  of  this  series  come  into  my  library, 
which  is  fairly  large  but  sadly  needs  weeding  out, 
give  me  a  literary  appraisal  of  my  books,  and 
tell  me  what  volumes  in  their  respective  depart- 
ments they  think  I  could  best  dispense  with  to 
make  room  for  their  betters,  and  what  their 
betters  would  be. 

To  these  considerations  in  favor  of  such  a 
home  librar>^  as  this,  may  be  added  the  fact  that 
the  books  are  of  such  a  size  that  one  can  easily 
put  a  volume  in  his  pocket  when  he  is  going  on  a 
train  or  in  a  trolley  car.  For  busy  men  and 
women  often  the  only  time  for  reading  is  the 
time  which  too  many  of  us  are  apt  to  waste 
in  doing  nothing. 


The  Pocket  University         15 

Perhaps  the  highest  use  of  good  books  is  their 
use  as  friends.  Such  a  wisely  selected  group  of 
friends  as  this  librarj'^  furnishes  is  an  invaluable 
addition  to  any  home  which  receives  it  and  knows 
how  to  make  wise  use  of  it.  I  am  glad  to  have 
the  privilege  of  introducing  it  and  hope  that  this 
introduction  may  add  to  the  number  of  homes  in 
which  it  will  find  a  welcome. 


THE  PURPOSE  OF  READING 

By  JOHN  MACY 


THE  PURPOSE  OF  READING 

By  JOHN  MACY 

Why  do  we  read  books  is  one  of  those 
vast  questions  that  need  no  answer.  As  well 
ask,  Why  ought  we  to  be  good?  or,  Why  do 
we  believe  in  a  God?  The  whole  universe  of 
wisdom  answers.  To  attempt  an  answer  in 
a  single  article  would  be  like  turning  a  spyglass 
for  a  moment  toward  the  stars.  We  take  the 
great  simple  things  for  granted,  like  the  air  we 
breathe.  In  a  country  that  holds  popular  edu- 
cation to  be  the  foundation  of  all  its  liberties 
and  fortunes,  we  do  not  find  many  people  who 
need  to  be  argued  into  the  belief  that  the  reading 
of  books  is  good  for  us;  even  people  who  do  not 
read  much  acknowledge  vaguely  that  they  ought

There  are,  to  be  sure,  men  of  rough  worldly 
wisdom,  even  endowed  with  spiritual  insight, 
who  distrust  "book  learning"  and  fall  back  on 
the  obvious  truth  that  experience  of  life  is  the 
great  teacher.  Such  persons  are  in  a  measure 
justified  in  their  conviction  by  the  number  of 
unwise  human  beings  who  have  read  much  bur 
to  no  purpose.

20       The  Purpose  of  Reading 

The  bookful  blockhead,  ignorantly  read, 
With  loads  of  learned  lumber  in  his  head 


is  a  living  argument  against  mere  reading.  But 
we  can  meet  such  argument  by  pointing  out 
that  the  blockhead  who  cannot  learn  from  books 
cannot  learn  much  from  life,  either.  That  some- 
times useful  citizen  whom  it  is  fashionable  to  call 
a  Philistine,  and  who  calls  himself  a  "practical 
man,"  often  has  under  him  a  beginner  fresh 
from  the  schools,  who  is  glib  and  confident  in 
repeating  bookish  theories,  but  is  not  yet  skillful 
in  applying  them.  If  the  practical  man  is 
thoughtless,  he  sniffs  at  theory  and  points  to  his 
clumsy  assistant  as  proof  of  the  uselessness  of 
what  is  to  be  got  from  books.  If  he  is  wise,  the 
practical  man  realizes  how  much  better  oflf  he 
would  be,  how  much  farther  his  hard  work  and 
experience  might  have  carried  him,  if  he  had  had 
the  advantage  of  bookish  training. 

Moreover,  the  hard-headed  skeptic,  self-madt 
and  self-secure,  wh«  will  not  traffic  with  the  litera- 
ture that  touches  his  life  work,  is  seldom  so  con- 
fined to  his  own  little  shop  that  he  will  not,  for 
recreation,  take  holiday  tours  into  the  literature  of 
other  men's  lives  and  labors.  The  man  who  does 
not  like  to  read  any  books  is,  I  am  confident,  seldom 
found,  and  at  the  risk  of  slandering  a  patriot,  I 
will  express  the  doubt  whether  he  is  a  good  citizen.

Honest  he  may  be,  but  certainly  not  wise. 
The  human  race  for  thousands  of  years  has  been 
writing  its  experiences,  telHng  how  it  has  met 
our  everlasting  problems,  how  it  has  struggled 
with  darkness  and  rejoiced  in  light.  What  fools 
we  should  be  to  try  to  live  our  lives  without  the 
guidance  and  inspiration  of  the  generations  that 
have  gone  before,  without  the  joy,  encourage- 
ment, and  sympathy  that  the  best  imaginations 
of  our  generation  are  distilling  into  words.  For 
literature  is  simply  life  selected  and  condensed 
into  books.  In  a  few  hours  we  can  follow  all 
that  is  recorded  of  the  life  of  Jesus — the  best 
that  He  did  in  years  of  teaching  and  suffering 
all  ours  for  a  day  of  reading,  and  the  more 
deeply  ours  for  a  lifetime  of  reading  and  medita- 
tion! 

If  the  expression  of  life  in  words  is  strong  and 
beautiful  and  true  it  outlives  empires,  like  the 
oldest  books  of  the  Old  Testament.  If  it  is 
weak  or  trivial  or  untrue,  it  is  forgotten  like 
most  of  the  "stories"  in  yesterday's  newspaper, 
like  most  of  the  novels  of  last  year.  The  ex- 
pression of  truth,  the  transmission  of  knowledge 
and  emotions  between  man  and  man  from 
generation  to  generation,  these  are  the  purposes  of 
literature.  Not  to  read  books  is  like  being  shut 
up  in  a  dungeon  while  life  rushes  by  outside. 

I  happen  to  be  writing  in  Christmas  week,  and 


22        The  Purpose  of  Reading 

I  have  read  for  the  tenth  time  "A  Christmas 
Carol,"  hy  Dickens,  that  amazing  allegory  in 
which  the  hard,  bitter  facts  of  life  are  involved  in 
a  beautiful  myth,  that  wizard's  caldron  in  which 
humor  bubbles  and  from  which  rise  phantom 
figures  of  religion  and  poetry.  Can  any  one 
doubt  that  if  this  story  were  read  by  every 
man,  woman,  and  child  in  the  world,  Christmas 
would  be  a  happier  time  and  the  feelings  of  the 
race  elevated  and  strengthened?  The  story 
has  power  enough  to  defeat  armies,  to  make  rev- 
olutions in  the  faith  of  men,  and  turn  the  cold 
markets  of  the  world  into  festival  scenes  of  char- 
ity. If  you  know  any  mean  person  you  may  be 
sure  that  he  has  not  read  "A  Christmas  Carol," 
or  that  he  read  it  long  ago  and  has  forgotten  it. 
I  know  there  are  persons  who  pretend  that  the 
sentimentality  of  Dickens  destroys  their  interest 
in  him.  I  once  took  a  course  with  an  over- 
refined,  imperfectly  educated  professor  of  litera- 
ture, who  advised  me  that  in  time  I  should  out- 
grow my  liking  for  Dickens.  It  was  only  his 
way  of  recommending  to  me  a  kind  of  fiction 
that  I  had  not  learned  to  like.  In  time  I  did 
learn  to  like  it,  but  I  did  not  outgrow  Dickens. 
A  person  who  can  read  "A  Christmas  Carol" 
aloud  to  the  end  and  keep  his  voice  steady  is,  I 
suspect,  not  a  safe  person  to  trust  with  one's 
purse  or  one's  honor. 


The  Purpose  of  Reading        23 

It  is  not  necessary  to  argue  about  the  value  of 
literature  or  even  to  define  it.  One  way  of  bring- 
ing ourselves  to  realize  vividly  what  literature  can 
do  for  us  is  to  enter  the  libraries  of  great  men  and 
see  what  books  have  done  for  the  acknowledged 
leaders  of  our  race. 

You  will  recall  John  Stuart  Mill's  experience  in 
reading  Wordsworth.  Mill  was  a  man  of  letters 
as  well  as  a  scientific  economist  and  philosopher, 
and  we  expect  to  find  that  men  of  letters  have 
been  nourished  on  literature;  reading  must 
necessarily  have  been  a  large  part  of  their  pro- 
fessional preparation.  The  examples  of  men  of 
action  who  have  been  molded  and  inspired  by 
books  will  perhaps  be  more  helpful  to  remember; 
for  most  of  us  are  not  to  be  writers  or  to  engage 
in  purely  intellectual  work;  our  ambitions  point 
to  a  thousand  different  careers  in  the  world  of 
action. 

Lincoln  was  not  primarily  a  man  of  letters,  al- 
though he  wrote  noble  prose  on  occasion,  and  the 
art  of  expression  was  important,  perhaps  indis- 
pensable, in  his  political  success.  He  read  deeply 
in  the  law  and  in  books  on  public  questions. 
For  general  literature  he  had  little  time,  either 
during  his  early  struggles  or  after  his  public 
life  began,  and  his  autobiographical  memor- 
andum contains  the  significant  words:  "Educa- 
tion    defective."     But    these    more    significant 


24        The  Purpose  of  Reading 

words  are  found  in  a  letter  which  he  wrote  to 
Hackett,  the  player:  "Some  of  Shakespeare's 
plays  I  have  never  read,  while  others  I  have  gone 
over  perhaps  as  frequently  as  any  unprofessional 
reader.  Among  the  latter  are  'Lear,'  'Richard 
III,'  'Henry  VIII,'  'Hamlet,'  and,  especially, 
'Macbeth.'" 

If  he  had  not  read  these  masterpieces,  no  doubt 
he  would  have  become  President  just  the  same 
and  guided  the  country  through  its  terrible 
difficulties;  but  we  may  be  fairly  sure  that  the 
high  philosophy  by  which  he  lifted  the  political 
differences  of  his  day  above  partisan  quarrels, 
the  command  of  words  which  gives  his  letters 
and  speeches  literary  permanence  apart  from 
their  biographical  interest,  the  poetic  exaltation 
of  the  Gettysburg  Address,  these  higher  qualities 
of  genius,  beyond  the  endowment  of  any  native 
wit,  came  to  Lincoln  in  some  part  from  the  read- 
ing of  books.  It  is  important  to  note  that  he 
followed  Franklin's  advice  to  read  much  but  not 
too  many  books;  the  list  of  books  mentioned  in 
the  biographical  records  of  Lincoln  is  not  long. 
But  he  went  over  those  half  dozen  plays  "fre- 
quently." We  should  remember,  too,  that  he 
based  his  ideals  upon  the  Bible  and  his  style  upon 
the  King  James  Version.  His  writings  abound  in 
Biblical  phrases. 

We  are  accustomed   to  regard  Lincoln  as  a 


The  Purpose  of  Reading        25 

thinker.  His  right  arm  in  the  saddest  duty  of 
his  Hfe,  General  Grant,  was  a  man  of  deeds;  as 
Lincoln  said  of  him,  he  was  a  "copious  worker 
and  fighter,  but  a  very  meager  writer  and  tele- 
grapher." In  his  "Memoirs,"  Grant  makes  a 
modest  confession  about  his  reading: 

"There  is  a  fine  library  connected  with  the 
Academy  [West  Point]  from  which  cadets  can 
get  books  to  read  in  their  quarters.  I  devoted 
more  time  to  these  than  to  books  relating  to 
the  course  of  studies.  Much  of  the  time,  I  am 
sorry  to  say,  was  devoted  to  novels,  but  not 
those  of  a  trashy  sort.  I  read  all  of  Bulwer's 
then  published.  Cooper's,  Marryat's,  Scott's, 
Washington  Irving's  works.  Lever's,  and  many 
others  that  I  do  not  now  remember." 

Grant  was  not  a  shining  light  in  his  school 
days,  nor  indeed  in  his  life  until  the  Civil  War, 
and  at  first  sight  he  is  not  a  striking  example  of  a 
great  man  influenced  by  books.  Yet  who  can 
deny  that  the  fruit  of  that  early  reading  is  to  be 
found  in  his  "Memoirs,"  in  which  a  man  of  ac- 
tion, unused  to  writing,  and  called  upon  to  nar- 
rate great  events,  discovers  an  easy  adequate 
style?  There  is  a  dangerous  kind  of  conjecture 
in  which  many  biographers  indulge  when  they 
try  to  relate  logically  the  scattered  events  of  a 
man's  life.  A  conjectured  relation  is  set  down  as 
a  proved  or  unquestioned  relation.      I  have  said 


26       The  Purpose  of  Reading 

something  about  this  in  *  writing  on  biography, 
and  I  do  not  wish  to  violate  my  own  teachings. 
But  we  may,  without  harm,  hazard  the  sugges- 
tion, which  is  only  a  suggestion,  that  some  of 
the  chivalry  of  Scott's  heroes  wove  itself  into 
Grant's  instincts  and  inspired  this  businesslike, 
modern  general,  in  the  days  when  politeness  has 
lost  some  of  its  flourish,  to  be  the  great  gentleman 
he  was  at  Appomattox  when  he  quietly  wrote 
into  the  terms  of  the  surrender  that  the  Con- 
federate officers  should  keep  their  side  arms. 
Stevenson's  account  of  the  episode  in  his  essay 
on  "Gentlemen"  is  heightened,  though  not  above 
the  dignity  of  the  facts,  certainly  not  to  a  degree 
that  is  untrue  to  the  facts,  as  they  are  to  be  read 
in  Grant's  simple  narrative.  Since  I  have  agreed 
not  to  say  "ought  to  read,"  I  will  only  express 
the  hope  that  the  quotation  from  Stevenson  will 
lead  you  to  the  essay  and  to  the  volume  that 
contains  it. 

"On  the  day  of  the  capitulation,  Lee  wore  his 
presentation  sword;  it  was  the  first  thing  that 
Grant  observed,  and  from  that  moment  he  had 
but  one  thought:  how  to  avoid  taking  it.  A 
man,  who  should  perhaps  have  had  the  nature  of 
an  angel,  but  assuredly  not  the  special  virtues  of 
a  gentleman,  might  have  received  the  sword, 
and  no  more  words  about  it;  he  would  have  done 
well  in  a  plain  way.     One  who  wished  to  be  a

gentleman,  and  knew  not  how,  might  have  re- 
ceived and  returned  it:  he  would  have  done  in- 
famously ill,  he  would  have  proved  himself  a 
cad;  taking  the  stage  for  himself,  leaving  to  his 
adversary  confusion  of  countenance  and  the  un- 
graceful posture  of  a  man  condemned  to  offer 
thanks.  Grant  without  a  word  said,  added  to 
the  terms  this  article:  'AH  officers  to  retain  their 
side  arms';  and  the  problem  was  solved  and  Lee 
kept  his  sword,  and  Grant  went  down  to  posterity, 
not  perhaps  a  fine  gentleman,  but  a  great  on6." 

Napoleon,  who  of  all  men  of  mighty  deeds  after 
Julius  Caesar  had  the  greatest  intellect,  was  a 
tireless  reader,  and  since  he  needed  only  four  or 
five  hours'  sleep  in  twenty-four  he  found  time  to 
read  in  the  midst  of  his  prodigious  activities. 
Nowadays  those  of  us  who  are  preparing  to  con- 
quer the  world  are  taught  to  strengthen  our- 
selves for  the  task  by  getting  plenty  of  sleep. 
Napoleon's  devouring  eyes  read  far  into  the  night; 
when  he  was  in  the  field  his  secretaries  for%varded 
a  stream  of  books  to  his  headquarters;  and  if  he 
was  left  without  a  new  volume  to  begin,  some 
underling  had  to  bear  his  imperial  displeasure. 
No  wonder  that  his  brain  contained  so  many 
ideas  that,  as  the  sharp-tongued  poet,  Heine, 
said,  one  of  his  lesser  thoughts  would  keep  all  the 
scholars  and  professors  in  Germany  busy  all 
their  lives  making  commentaries  on  it. 


zS       The  Purpose  of  Reading 

In  Franklin's  "Autobiography"  we  have  an 
unusually  clear  statement  of  the  debt  of  a  man  of 
affairs  to  literature:  "From  a  child  I  was  fond  of 
reading,  and  all  the  little  money  that  came  into 
my  hands  was  ever  laid  out  in  books.  Pleased 
with  the  'Pilgrim's  Progress,'  my  first  collection 
was  of  John  Bunyan's  works  in  separate  littU 
volumes.  .  .  .  My  father's  little  library  con- 
sisted chiefly  of  books  on  polemic  divinity,  most  of 
which  I  read,  and  have  since  often  regretted  that, 
at  a  time  when  I  had  such  a  thirst  for  knowledge, 
more  proper  books  had  not  fallen  in  my  way,  since 
it  was  now  resolved  that  I  should  not  be  a  clergy- 
man. 'Plutarch's  Lives'  there  was  in  which  I 
read  abundantly,  and  I  still  think  that  time  spent 
to  great  advantage.  There  was  also  a  book  of 
De  Foe's,  called  an  'Essay  on  Projects,'  and 
another  of  Dr.  Mather's,  called  'Essays  to  do 
Good,'  which  perhaps  gave  me  a  turn  of  thinking 
that  had  an  influence  on  some  of  the  principal 
future  events  of  my  life." 

It  is  not  surprising  to  find  that  the  most  versa- 
tile of  versatile  Americans  read  De  Foe's  "Essay 
on  Projects,"  which  contains  practical  suggestions 
on  a  score  of  subjects,  from  banking  and  insur- 
ance to  national  academics.  In  Cotton  Math- 
er's "Essays  to  do  Good"  is  the  germ  perhaps  of 
the  sensible  morality  of  Franklin's  "Poor  Rich- 
ard."    The  story  of  how  Franklin  pave  his  nighto 


The  Purpose  of  Reading        29 

to  the  study  of  Addison  and  by  imitating  the 
Spectator  papers  taught  himself  to  write,  is  the 
best  of  lessons  in  self-cultivation  in  English, 
The  "Autobiography"  is  proof  of  how  well  he 
learned,  not  Addison's  style,  which  was  suited 
to  Joseph  Addison  and  not  to  Benjamin  Franklin, 
but  a  clear,  firm  manner  of  writing.  In  Frank- 
lin's case  we  can  see  not  only  what  he  owed  to 
books,  but  how  one  side  of  his  fine,  responsive 
mind  was  starved  because,  as  he  put  it,  more 
proper  books  did  not  fall  in  his  way.  The  "blind 
side  of  Franklin's  great  intellect  was  his  lack  of 
religious  imagination.  This  defect  may  be  ac- 
counted for  by  the  forbidding  nature  of  the  re- 
ligious books  in  his  father's  library.  Repelled 
by  the  dull  discourses,  the  young  man  missed 
the  religious  exaltation  and  poetic  mysticism 
which  the  New  England  divines  concealed  in 
their  polemic  argument.  Franklin's  liking  for 
Bunyan  and  his  confession  that  his  father's  dis- 
couragement kept  him  from  being  a  poet — "mor^t 
probably,"  he  says,  "a  very  bad  one" — show  that 
he  would  have  responded  to  the  right  kind  of 
religious  literature,  and  not  have  remained  all 
his  life  such  a  complacent  rationalist. 

If  it  is  clear  that  the  purpose  of  reading  is  to 
put  ourselves  in  communication  with  the  best 
minds  of  our  race,  we  need  go  no  farther  for  a 
definition  of  "good  reading."     Whatever  human 


30       The  Purpose  of  Reading 

beings  have  said  well  is  literature,  whether  it  be 
the  Declaration  of  Independence  or  a  love  story. 
Reading  consists  in  nothing  more  than  in  taking 
one  of  the  volumes  in  which  somebody  has  said 
something  well,  opening  it  on  one's  knee,  and  be- 
ginning. 

We  take  it  for  granted,  then,  that  we  know 
why  we  read.  We  may  ask  one  further  question: 
How  shall  we  read.?  One  answer  is  that  we 
should  read  with  as  much  of  ourselves  as  a  book 
warrants,  with  the  part  of  ourselves  that  a  book 
demands.     Mrs.  Browning  says: 

We  get  no  good 
By  being  ungenerous,  even  to  a  book, 
And  calculating  profits — so  much  help 
By  so  much  reading.     It  is  rather  when 
We  gloriously  forget  ourselves,  and  plunge 
Soul-forward,  headlong,  into  a  book's  profound, 
Impassioned  for  its  beauty,  and  salt  of  truth  — 
'Tis  then  we  get  the  right  good  from  a  book. 

We  sometimes  know  exactly  what  we  wish  to 
get  from  a  book,  especially  if  it  is  a  volume  of 
information  on  a  definite  subject.  But  the  great 
book  is  full  of  treasures  that  one  does  not  de- 
liberately seek,  and  which  indeed  one  may  miss 
altogether  on  the  first  journey  through.  It  is 
almost  nonsensical  to  say:  Read  Macaulay  for 
clearness,    Carlyle    for    power,    Thackeray    for 


The  Purpose  of  Reading        3 1 

ease.  Literary  excellence  is  not  separated  and 
bottled  up  in  any  such  drug-shop  array.  If 
Macaulay  is  a  master  of  clearness  it  is  because 
he  is  much  else  besides.  Unless  we  read  a  man 
for  all  there  is  in  him,  we  get  very  little;  we  meet, 
not  a  living  human  being,  not  a  vital  book,  but 
something  dead,  dismembered,  disorganized. 
We  do  not  read  Thackeray  for  ease;  we  read 
him  for  Thackeray  and  enjoy  his  ease  by  the 
way. 

We  must  read  a  book  for  all  there  is  in  it  or 
we  shall  get  little  or  nothing.  To  be  masters  of 
books  we  must  have  learned  to  let  books  master 
us.  This  is  true  of  books  that  we  are  required  to 
read,  such  as  text-books,  and  of  those  we  read 
voluntarily  and  at  leisure.  The  law  of  reading  is 
to  give  a  book  its  due  and  a  little  more.  The 
art  of  reading  is  to  know  how  to  apply  this  law. 
For  there  is  an  art  of  reading,  for  each  of  us  to 
learn  for  himself,  a  private  way  of  making  the 
acquaintance  of  books. 

Macaulay,  whose  mind  was  never  hurried  or 
confused,  learned  to  read  very  rapidly,  to  absorb 
a  page  at  a  glance.  A  distinguished  professor, 
who  has  spent  his  life  in  the  most  minutely 
technical  scholarship,  surprised  us  one  day  by 
commending  to  his  classes  the  fine  art  of  "skip- 
ping." Many  good  books,  including  some  most 
meritorious    "three-decker"    novels,    have   their 


32       The  Purpose  of  Reading 

profitless  pages,  and  it  Is  useful  to  know  by  a 
kind  of  practised  instinct  where  to  pause  and 
reread  and  where  to  run  lightly  and  rapidly  over 
the  page.  It  is  a  useful  accomplishment  not 
only  in  the  reading  of  fiction,  but  in  the  business 
of  life,  to  the  man  of  affairs  who  must  get  the 
gist  of  a  mass  of  written  matter,  and  to  the  stu- 
dent of  any  special  subject. 

Usually,  of  course,  a  book  that  is  worth  reading 
at  all  is  worth  reading  carefully.  Thoroughness 
of  reading  is  the  first  thing  to  preach  and  to 
practise,  and  it  is  perhaps  dangerous  to  suggest 
to  a  beginner  that  any  book  should  be  skimmed. 
The  suggestion  will  serve  its  purpose  if  it  in- 
dicates that  there  are  ways  to  read,  that  prac- 
tice in  reading  is  like  practice  in  anything  else; 
the  more  one  does,  and  the  more  intelligently 
one  does  it,  the  farther  and  more  easily  one  can 
go.  In  the  best  reading — that  is,  the  most 
thoughtful  reading  of  the  most  thoughtful  books 
— attention  is  necessary.  It  is  even  necessary 
that  we  should  read  some  works,  some  passages, 
so  often  and  with  such  close  application  that 
we  commit  them  to  memory.  It  is  said  that  the 
habit  of  learning  pieces  by  heart  is  not  so 
prevalent  as  it  used  to  be.  I  hope  that  this  is 
not  so.  What!  have  you  no  poems  by  heart, 
no  great  songs,  no  verses  from  the  Bible,  no 
speeches   from    Shakespeare?     Then    you    have 


The  Purpose  of  Reading        33 

not  begun  to  read,  you  have  not  learned  how  to 
read. 

We  have  said  enough,  perhaps,  of  the  theories 
of  reading.  The  one  lesson  that  seems  most 
obvious  is  that  we  must  come  close  to  literature.

HOW  TO  GET  THE  BEST  OUT 
OF  BOOKS 

By  RICHARD  LE  GALLIENNE 

One  is  sometimes  asked  by  young  people 
panting  after  the  waterbrooks  of  knowledge: 
"How  shall  I  get  the  best  out  of  books?"  Here 
indeed,  is  one  of  those  questions  which  can  be 
answered  only  in  general  terms,  with  possible  il- 
lustrations from  one's  own  personal  experience. 
Misgivings,  too,  as  to  one's  fitness  to  answer  it 
may  well  arise,  as  wistfully  looking  round  one's 
own  bookshelves,  one  asks  oneself:  "Have  I 
myself  got  the  best  out  of  this  wonderful  world 
of  books?"  It  is  almost  like  asking  oneself: 
"Have  I  got  the  best  out  of  life?" 

As  we  make  the  survey,  it  will  surely  happen 
that  our  eyes  fall  on  many  writers  whom  the 
stress  of  life,  or  spiritual  indolence,  has  pre- 
vented us  from  using  as  all  the  while  they  have 
been  eager  to  be  used;  friends  we  might  have 
made  yet  never  have  made,  neglected  coun- 
sellors we  would  so  often  have  done  well  to  con- 
sult, guides  that  could  have  saved  us  many 
d    vvTong   turning   in   the   difficult  way.     There,

in  unvisited  corners  of  our  shelves,  what  neg- 
lected fountains  of  refreshments,  gardens  in 
which  we  have  never  walked,  hills  we  havi 
never  climbed! 

"Well,"  we  say  with  a  sigh,  "a  man  cannot 
read  everything;  it  is  life  that  has  interrupted 
our  studies,  and  probably  the  fact  is  that  we 
have  accumulated  more  books  than  we  really 
need."  The  young  reader's  appetite  is  largely 
in  his  eyes,  and  it  is  very  natural  for  one  who  is 
born  with  a  taste  for  books  to  gather  them 
about  him  at  first  indiscriminately,  on  the  hear- 
say recommendation  of  fame,  before  he  really 
knows  what  his  own  individual  tastes  are,  or 
are  going  to  be,  and  in  that  wistful  survey  I 
have  imagined,  our  eyes  will  fall,  too,  with  some 
amusement,  on  not  a  few  volumes  to  which  we 
never  have  had  any  really  personal  relation,  and 
which,  whatever  their  distinction  or  their  value 
for  others,  were  never  meant  for  us.  The  way 
to  do  with  such  books  is  to  hand  them  over  to 
some  one  who  has  a  use  for  them.  On  our  shelves 
they  are  like  so  much  good  thrown  away,  invita- 
tions to  entertainments  for  which  we  have  no 
taste.  In  all  vital  libraries,  such  a  process  of 
progressive  refection  is  continually  going  on,  and 
to  realize  what  we  do  not  want  in  books,  or 
cannot  use,  must,  obviously,  be  a  first  principle 
in  our  getting  the  best  out  of  them

Yes,  we  read  too  many  books,  and  too  many 
that,  as  they  do  not  really  interest  us,  bring  us 
neither  benefit  nor  diversion.  Even  from  the 
point  of  view  of  reading  for  pleasure,  we  man- 
age our  reading  badly.  We  listlessly  allow  our- 
selves to  be  bullied  by  publishers'  advertisements 
into  reading  the  latest  fatuity  in  fiction,  without, 
in  one  case  out  of  twenty,  finding  any  of  that 
pleasure  we  are  ostensibly  seeking.  Instead, 
indeed,  we  are  bored  and  enervated,  where  we 
might  have  been  refreshed,  either  by  romance  or 
laughter.  Such  reading  resembles  the  idle  ab- 
sorption of  innocuous  but  interesting  bever- 
ages, which  cheer  as  little  as  they  inebriate,  and 
yet  at  the  same  time  make  frivolous  demands  on 
the  digestive  functions.  No  one  but  a  publisher 
could  call  such  reading  "light."  Actually  it  is 
weariness  to  the  flesh  and  heaviness  to  the 
spirit. 

If,  therefore,  our  idea  of  the  best  in  books  is 
the  recreation  they  can  so  well  bring;  if  we  go 
to  books  as  to  a  playground  to  forget  our  cares 
and  to  blow  off  the  cobwebs  of  business,  let  us 
make  sure  that  we  find  what  we  seek.  It  is 
there,  sure  enough.  The  playgrounds  of  liter- 
ature are  indeed  wide,  and  alive  with  bracing 
excitement,  nor  is  there  any  limit  to  the  variety 
of  the  games.  But  let  us  be  sure,  when  we  set 
)ut  to  be  amused,  that  we  really  are  amused,

that  our  humorists  do  really  make  us  laugh, 
and  that  our  story-tellers  have  stories  to  tell 
and  know  how  to  tell  them.  Beware  of  imita- 
tions, and,  when  in  doubt,  try  Shakespeare, 
and  Dumas — even  Ouida.  As  a  rule,  avoid 
the  "spring  lists,"  or  "summer  reading."  "Sum- 
mer reading"  is  usually  very  hot  work. 

Hackneyed  as  it  is,  there  is  no  better  general 
advice  on  reading  than  Shakespeare's 

No  profit  is  where  is  no  pleasure  taken, 

In  brief,  sir,  study  what  you  most  affect. 

Not  only  in  regard  to  books  whose  purpose, 
frankly,  is  recreation,  but  also  in  regard  to  the 
graver  uses  of  books,  this  counsel  no  less  holds. 
No  reading  does  us  any  good  that  is  not  a  pleas- 
ure to  us.  Her  paths  are  paths  of  pleasantness- 
Yet,  of  course,  this  does  not  mean  that  all  prof- 
itable reading  is  easy  reading.  Some  of  the 
books  that  give  us  the  finest  pleasure  need  the 
closest  application  for  their  enjoyment.  There 
is  always  a  certain  spiritual  and  mental  effort 
necessary  to  be  made  before  we  tackle  the 
great  books.  One  might  compare  it  to  the 
effort  of  getting  up  to  see  the  sun  rise.  It  is 
no  little  tug  to  leave  one's  warm  bed — but 
once  we  are  out  in  the  crystalline  morning  air, 
wasn't  it  worth  it?  Perhaps  our  finest  pleasure 
always  demands  some  such  austerity  of  prepa- 
ration.    That  is  the  secret  of  the  truest  epicu"

reanism.  Books  like  Dante's  "Divine  Com- 
edy," or  Plato's  dialogues,  will  not  give  them- 
selves to  a  lounging  reader.  They  demand  a 
braced,  attentive  spirit.  But  when  the  first 
effort  has  been  made,  how  exhilarating  are  the 
altitudes  in  which  we  find  ourselves;  what  a 
glow  of  pure  joy  is  the  reward  which  we  are 
almost  sure  to  win  by  our  mental  mountain- 
eering. 

But  such  books  are  not  for  moments  when 
we  are  unwilling  or  unable  to  make  that  neces- 
sary effort.  We  cannot  always  be  in  the  mood 
for  the  great  books,  and  often  we  are  too  tired 
physically,  or  too  low  down  on  the  depressed 
levels  of  daily  life,  even  to  lift  our  eyes  toward 
the  hills.  To  attempt  the  great  books — or  any 
books  at  all — in  such  moods  and  moments,  is  a 
mistake.  We  may  thus  contract  a  prejudice 
against  some  writer  who,  approached  in  more 
fortunate  moments,  would  prove  the  very  man 
we  were  looking  for. 

To  know  when  to  read  is  hardly  less  impor- 
tant than  to  know  what  to  read.  Of  course, 
every  one  must  decide  the  matter  for  himself; 
but  one  general  counsel  may  be  ventured: 
Read  only  what  you  want  to  read,  and  only 
when  you  want  to  read  it. 

Some  readers  find  the  early  morning,  when 
they   have   all   the   world    to   themselves,   their 


42  Getting  the  Best  Out  of  Books 

best  time  for  reading,  and,  if  you  are  a  good 
sleeper,  and  do  not  find  early  rising  more  weary- 
ing than  refreshing,  there  is  certainly  no  other 
time  of  the  day  when  the  mind  is  so  eagerly  re- 
ceptive, has  so  keen  an  edge  of  appetite,  and 
absorbs  a  book  in  so  fine  an  intoxication.  For 
your  true  book-lover  there  is  no  other  exhilara- 
tion so  exquisite  as  that  with  which  one  reads  an 
inspiring  book  in  the  solemn  freshness  of  early 
morning.  One's  nerves  seem  peculiarly  strung 
for  exquisite  impressions  in  the  first  dewy  hours 
of  the  day,  there  is  a  virginal  sensitiveness  and 
purity  about  all  our  senses,  and  the  mere  delight 
of  the  eye  in  the  printed  page  is  keener  than  at 
any  other  time.  "The  Muses  love  the  morning, 
and  that  is  a  fit  time  for  study,"  said  Erasmus 
to  his  friend  Christianus  of  Lubeck;  and,  cer- 
tainly, if  early  rising  agrees  with  one,  there  is 
no  better  time  for  getting  the  very  best  out  of 
a  book.  Moreover,  morning  reading  has  a 
way  of  casting  a  spell  of  peace  over  the  whole 
day.  It  has  a  sweet,  solemnizing  effect  on  our 
thoughts — a  sort  of  mental  matins — and  through 
the  day's  business  it  accompanies  us  as  with 
hidden  music. 

There  are  others  who  prefer  to  do  their 
reading  at  night,  and  I  presume  that  most 
readers  of  this  paper  are  so  circumstanced 
as  to  have  no  time  to  spare  for  reading  during 


Getting  the  Best  Out  of  Books  43 

the  day.  Personally,  I  think  that  one  of  the  best 
places  to  read  in  is  bed.  Paradoxical  as  it  may 
sound,  one  is  not  so  apt  to  fall  asleep  over  his 
book  in  bed  as  in  the  post-prandial  armchair. 
While  one's  body  rests  itself,  one's  mind,  remains 
alert,  and,  when  the  time  for  sleep  comes  at  last,  it 
passes  into  unconsciousness,  tranquilized  and 
sweetened  with  thought  and  pleasantly  weary 
with  healthy  exercise.  One  awakens,  too,  next 
morning,  with,  so  to  say,  a  very  pleasant  taste 
of  meditation  in  the  mouth.  Erasmus,  again, 
has  a  counsel  for  the  bedtime  reader,  expressed 
with  much  felicity.  "A  little  before  you  sleep," 
he  says,  "read  something  that  is  exquisite,  and 
worth  remembering;  and  contemplate  upon  it 
till  you  fall  asleep;  and,  when  you  awake  in  the 
morning,  call  yourself  to  an  account  for  it." 

In  an  old  Atlantic  Monthly,  from  which,  if 
I  remember  aright,  he  never  rescued  it,  Oliver 
Wendell  Holmes  has  a  delightful  paper  on  the 
delights  of  reading  in  bed,  entitled  "Pillow- 
Smoothing  Authors." 

Then,  though  I  suppose  we  shall  have  the 
oculists  against  us,  the  cars  are  good  places  to 
read  in — if  you  have  the  power  of  detachment, 
and  are  able  to  switch  off  your  ears  from  other 
people's  conversation.  It  is  a  good  plan  to 
have  a  book  with  you  in  all  places  and  at  all 
times.     Most   likely  you  will   carry   it   many  a 


44  Getting  the  Best  Out  of  Books 

day  and  never  give  it  a  single  look,  but,  even 
so,  a  book  in  the  hand  is  always  a  companion- 
able reminder  of  that  happier  world  of  fancy, 
which,  alas!  most  of  us  can  only  visit  by  playing 
truant  from  the  real  world.  As  some  men 
wear  boiitonnieres,  so  a  reader  carries  a  book, 
and  sometimes,  when  he  is  feeling  the  need  of 
beauty,  or  the  solace  of  a  friend,  he  opens  it, 
and  finds  both.  Probably  he  will  count  among 
the  most  fruitful  moments  of  his  reading  the 
snatched  glimpses  of  beauty  and  wisdom  he 
has  caught  in  the  morning  car.  The  covers 
of  his  book  have  often  proved  like  some  secret 
door,  through  which,  surreptitiously  opened, 
he  has  looked  for  a  moment  into  his  own  par- 
ricular  fairy  land.  Never  mind  the  oculist, 
therefore,  but,  whenever  you  feel  like  it,  read 
in  the  car. 

One  or  two  technical  considerations  may  be 
^•ealt  with  in  this  place.  How  to  remember 
what  one  reads  is  one  of  them.  Some  people 
are  blest  with  such  good  memories  that  they 
ni-ver  forget  anything  that  they  have  once  read. 
Literary  history  has  recorded  many  miraculous 
memories.  Still,  it  is  quite  possible  to  remem- 
ber too  much,  and  thus  turn  one's  mind  into  a 
lumber-room  of  useless  information.  A  good 
reader  forgets  even  more  than  he  remembers. 
Probably  we  remember  all  that  is  really  neces- 


Getting  the  Best  Out  of  Books  45 

sarj'  for  us,  and,  except  in  so  far  as  our  reading 
is  technical  and  directed  toward  some  exact 
science  or  profession,  accuracy  of  memory  is 
not  important.  As  the  Sabbath  was  made  for 
man,  so  books  were  made  for  the  reader,  and, 
when  a  reader  has  assimilated  from  any  given 
book  his  own  proper  nourishment  and  pleasure, 
the  rest  of  the  book  is  so  much  oyster  shell. 
The  end  of  true  reading  is  the  development  of 
individuality.  Like  a  certain  water  insect,  the 
reader  instinctively  selects  from  the  outspread 
world  of  books  the  building  materials  for  the 
house  of  his  soul.  He  chooses  here  and  rejects 
there,  and  remembers  or  forgets  according  to 
the  formative  desire  of  his  nature.  Yet  it 
often  happens  that  he  forgets  much  that  he 
needs  to  remember,  and  thus  the  question  of 
methodical  aids  to  memory  arises. 

One's  first  thought,  of  course,  is  of  the  com- 
■."nonplace  book.  Well,  have  you  ever  kept  one, 
or,  to  be  more  accurate,  tried  to  keep  one? 
Personally,  I  believe  in  the  commonplace  book 
so  long  as  we  don't  expect  too  much  from  it. 
Its  two  dangers  are  (i)  that  one  is  apt  to  make 
far  too  many  and  too  minute  entries,  and  (2) 
that  one  is  apt  to  leave  all  the  remembering  to 
the  commonplace  book,  with  a  consequent  re- 
laxation of  one's  own  attention.  On  the  other 
hand,    the    mere    discipline   of   a    commonplace 


46  Getting  the  Best  Out  of  Books 

book  is  a  good  thing,  and  if — as  I  think  is  tht 
best  way — we  copy  out  the  passages  at  full 
length,  they  are  thus  the  more  securely  fixed 
in  the  memory.  A  commonplace  book  kept 
with  moderation  is  really  useful,  and  may  be 
delightful.  But  the  entries  should  be  made  at 
full  length.  Otherwise,  the  thing  becomes  a 
mere  index,  an  index  which  encourages  us  to 
forget. 

Another  familiar  way  of  assisting  one's  mem- 
ory in  reading  is  to  mark  one'*  own  striking 
passages.  This  method  is  cliiefly  worth  while 
for  the  sake  of  one's  second  and  subsequent 
readings;  though  it  all  depends  when  one  makes 
the  markings — at  what  time  of  his  life,  I  mean. 
Markings  made  at  the  age  of  twenty  years  are 
of  little  use  at  thirty — except  negatively.  In 
fact,  I  have  usually  found  that  all  I  care  to  read 
again  of  a  book  read  at  twenty  is  just  the  pas- 
sages I  did  not  mark.  This  consideration,  how- 
ever, does  not  depreciate  the  value  of  one's  com- 
paratively contemporary  markings.  At  the 
same  time,  marking,  like  indexing,  is  apt,  unless 
guarded  against,  to  relax  the  memory.  One  is 
apt  to  mark  a  passage  in  lieu  of  remembering  it. 
Still,  for  a  second  reading,  as  I  say — a  second 
reading  not  too  long  after  the  first — marking  is  a 
useful  method,  particularly  if  one  regards  his 
first  reading  of  a  book  as  a  prospecting  of  the 


Getting  the  Best  Out  of  Books  47 

ground  rather  than  a  taking  possession.  One's 
first  reading  is  a  sort  of  flying  visit,  during 
which  he  notes  the  places  he  would  like  to 
visit  again  and  really  come  to  know.  A  brief 
index  of  one's  markings  at  the  end  of  a  volume 
is  a  method  of  memory  that  commended  itself 
to  the  booklovers  of  former  days — to  Leigh 
Hunt,  for  instance. 

Yet  none  of  these  external  methods,  useful 
as  they  may  prove,  can  compare  with  a  habit 
of  thorough  attention.  We  read  far  too  hur- 
riedly, too  much  in  the  spirit  of  the  "quick 
lunch."  No  doubt  we  do  so  a  great  deal  from 
the  misleading  idea  that  there  is  so  very  much 
to  read.  Actually,  there  is  very  little  to  read, 
— if  we  wish  for  real  reading — and  there  is 
time  to  read  it  all  twice  over.  We — Americans 
— bolt  our  books  as  we  do  our  food,  and  so  get 
far  too  little  good  out  of  them.  We  treat  our 
mental  digestions  as  brutally  as  we  treat  our 
stomachs.  Meditation  is  the  digestion  of  the 
mind,  but  we  allow  ourselves  no  time  for  medita- 
tion. We  gorge  our  eyes  with  the  printed  page, 
but  all  too  little  of  what  we  take  in  with  our 
eyes  ever  reaches  our  minds  or  our  spirits.  We 
assimilate  what  we  can  from  all  this  hurry  of 
superfluous  food,  and  the  rest  goes  to  waste,  and, 
as  a  natural  consequence,  contributes  only  to 
the  wear  and  tear  of  our  mental  organism.

Books  should  be  real  things.  They  were  so 
once,  when  a  man  would  give  a  fat  field  in  ex- 
change for  a  small  manuscript;  and  they  are 
no  less  real  to-day — some  of  them.  Each 
age  contributes  one  or  two  real  books  to  the 
eternal  library — and  always  the  old  books  re- 
main, magic  springs  of  healing  and  refreshment. 
If  no  one  should  write  a  book  for  a  thousand 
years,  there  are  quite  enough  books  to  keep  us 
going.  Real  books  there  are  in  plenty.  Per- 
haps there  are  more  real  books  than  there  are 
real  readers.  Books  are  the  strong  tincture  of 
experience.  They  are  to  be  taken  carefully, 
drop  by  drop,  not  carelessly  gulped  down  b}''  the 
bottleful.  Therefore,  if  you  would  get  the  best 
out  of  books,  spend  a  quarter  of  an  hour  in  read- 
ing, and  three-quarters  of  an  hour  in  thinking 
over  what  you  have  read. 


THE  GUIDE  TO  DAILY

ASA  DON  DICKINSON 


THE  GUIDE  TO  DAILY 
READING 

The  elaborate,  systematic  "course  of  reading" 
is  a  bore.  After  thirty  years  spent  among  books 
and  bookish  people  I  have  never  yet  met  any- 
one who  would  admit  that  he  had  ploughed 
through  such  a  course  from  beginning  to  end. 
Of  course  a  few  faithful  souls,  with  abundant 
leisure,  have  done  this,  just  as  there  are  men 
who  have  walked  from  New  York  City  to  San 
Francisco.  Good  exercise,  doubtless!  But  most 
of  us  have  not  time  for  feats  of  such  questionable 
utility. 

Yet  I  myself  and  most  of  the  booklovers  whom 
I  know  have  started  at  one  time  or  another  to 
pursue  a  course  of  reading,  and  we  have  never 
regretted  our  attempts.  Why?  Because  this 
is  an  excellent  way  to  discover  the  comparatively 
small  number  of  authors  who  have  a  message 
that  we  need  to  hear.  When  such  an  one  is  dis- 
covered, one  may  with  a  good  conscience  let 
the  systematic  course  go  by  the  board  until  one 
has  absorbed  all  that  is  useful  from  the  store  of 
good  things  offered  by  the  valuable  new  ac- 
quaintance.

Each  one  has  his  idiosyncrasies.  If  I  maj'  be 
permitted  to  allude  to  a  personal  failing,  let  me 
confess  that  I  have  never  read  "Paradise  Lost'* 
or  "Pilgrim's  Progress."  I  have  hopefully 
dipped  into  them  repeatedly,  but — /  don't  like 
them.  Some  day  I  hope  to,  but  until  my  mind  is 
ready  for  these  two  great  world-books,  I  do  not 
intend  to  waste  time  by  driving  through  them 
with  set  teeth.  There  are  too  many  other  good 
books  that  I  do  enjoy  reading.  "In  brief.  Sir, 
study  what  you  most  affect." 

The  "Guide  to  Daily  Readings"  which  follows 
makes  no  claim  to  be  systematic.  The  aim  has 
been  simply  to  introduce  the  reader  to  a  goodly 
company  of  authors — to  provide  a  daily  flower  of 
thought  for  the  buttonhole,  to-day  a  glorious 
rose  of  poetic  fancy,  to-morrow  a  pert  little 
pansy  of  quaint  humor. 

Yet  nearly  all  the  selections  are  doubly  signi- 
ficant and  interesting  if  read  upon  the  days  to 
which  they  are  especially  assigned.  For  ex- 
ample, on  New  Year's  Day  it  is  suggested  that 
one  set  one's  house  in  order  by  reading  Franklin's 
"Rules  of  Conduct,"  Longfellow's  "Psalm  of 
Life,"  Bryant's  "Thanatopsis,"  and  Lowell's 
"To  the  Future";  on  January  19th,  Poe's  Birth- 
day, one  is  directed  to  an  excellent  sketch  of  Poe 
and  to  typical  examples  of  his  best  work,  "The 
Raven"  and  "The  Cask  of  Amontillado";  and

on  October  31st,  Hallowe'en,  one  is  reminded  of 
Burns's  "Tarn  O'Shanter"  and  Irving's  "Legend 
of  Sleepy  Hollow." 

The  references  are  explicit  in  each  case,  so 
that  it  is  a  matter  of  only  a  few  seconds  to  find 
each  one.  For  example,  the  reference  to  the 
"Cask  of  Amontillado"  is  4-Pt. 1:67-77;  which 
means  that  this  tale  is  ten  pages  long  and  will 
be  found  in  Part  I  of  volume  4,  at  page  67.  Ex- 
cepting volumes  10-15  (Poetry),  two  volumes 
are  bound  in  one  in  this  set,  so  it  should  be  re- 
membered that  generally  there  are  two  pages 
numbered  67  in  each  book. 

The  daily  selections  can  in  most  cases  be  read 
in  from  fifteen  minutes  to  half  an  hour,  and  Dr. 
Eliot,  President  Emeritus  of  Harvard,  has  said 
that  fifteen  minutes  a  day  devoted  to  good  litera- 
ture will  give  every  man  the  essentials  of  a 
liberal  education.  If  time  can  be  found  between 
breakfast  and  the  work-hours  for  these  few  min- 
utes of  reading,  one  will  receive  more  benefit  than 
if  it  is  done  during  the  somnolent  period  which 
follows  the  day's  work  and  dinner.  It  is  a  mis- 
take, however,  to  read  before  breakfast.  Eyes  and 
stomach  are  too  closely  related  to  permit  of  this. 

Happy  is  he  who  can  read  these  books  in  com- 
pany with  a  sympathetic  companion.  His  en- 
joyment of  the  treasure  they  contain  will  be 
doubled.

One  final  hint — when  reading  for  something 
besides  pastime,  get  in  the  habit  of  referring 
when  necessary  to  dictionary,  encyclopaedia, 
and  atlas.  If  on  the  subway  or  a  railway  train, 
jot  down  a  memorandum  of  the  query  on  the 
flyleaf,  and  look  up  the  answer  at  the  first 
opportunity.

There  is  no  business,  no  avocation  whatever,  which  will 
I  not  permit  a  man,  who  has  the  inclination,  to  give  a  little

When  evening  has  arrived,  I  return  home,  and  go  into 
my  study.  .  .  .  For  hours  together,  the  miseries  of  life 
no  longer  annoy  me;  I  forget  every  vexation;  I  do  not  fear 
poverty;  for  I  have  altogether  transferred  myself  to  those 
with  whom  I  hold  converse.
